Alisson Becker stated, "Sometimes nobody asks the players what they think about adding more games. Maybe our opinion doesn't matter, but everybody knows what we think about having more games. Everybody's tired of that." This highlights a crucial concern from players regarding the increase in games and the impact on their performance.
He further emphasized, "So many players have spoken already about it, we just need to be listened to. If you are tired you cannot compete at a high level. What I want is to give my best in all the games I play." This showcases the strain on players and their desire for input in decisions that affect their workload.
Alisson concluded, "At the moment it doesn't look like we are close to a solution for football's sake and for the players' sake." This statement reflects the ongoing issue regarding player welfare amidst an expanding football calendar.
While reflecting on the situation, Jürgen Klopp's successor Arne Slot remarked, "The only thing I like about it just as someone who loves to see football is that on every night there is a nice fixture. But how is it going to be with two extra games for the players?" This points to the tension between fan enjoyment and player fatigue.
